Ogres are like onions
I worked at a video rental store for a few years at the time when DVD was becoming the norm. We had an adult section. I think we were the only 'mainstream' video store in town to rent porn, so it was by far our biggest moneymaker. Sometimes the DVDs came back greasy, somehow. I didn't want to think about it. We had a lot of hand sanitizer.

If I put some thought into it I'd probably have stories to fill a page, but the main guy I remembered was this greasy old dude who rented insane amounts of porn. We had a '10 for 10 for 10' deal where you'd get 10 older movies for 10 days for a tenner. A good deal. Anyways, this guy without fail would come in every 10 days and get nothing but porn. This was the norm for a couple of years. Now we had a good amount of material back there but poo poo, at some point he must have just been rewatching. A bit hosed up, but hey, we all watch porn right? This guy just watched a bit more. That's not why I remember him 10 years later. After a few months of this, he starts bringing his son in with him. His son looked about 10 years old and would be allowed one, maybe two movies for him (not porn, to clarify) mixed in with the porn mountain.

Eventually the manager banned him due to his fines getting out of hand. gently caress that guy, and gently caress that place for being open 365 days a year. I used to come into work on Christmas drunk/stoned out of my loving mind just to rent porn to a few sad old bastards.

Job is to use a register designed to be idiot proof to check out items and be polite to customer in an air conditioned retail setting.

Fails somehow.

Did a nasty retail person yell at you once or something
